How to copy text from Essentials information

There's so much to learn, so many tips, on the third day of using my new Mac 24" (OS Monterey), I'm sure I won't remember it all … or where to find it again later on. So I wanted to copy a suggested keyboard shortcut from one of the pages in the Essentials information pop-up. But using my new mouse to click & drag didn't work … it only dragged the window. How do I copy particular text items so that I can paste them in my collection of info. I want to use later?

iMac 24″, macOS 12.2
